Pictures of my new Jacob ram

[Roving Jacobs]

My original Jacob ram, Dennis, is amazing but I'm keeping back a bunch of his daughters so I was in the market for a new boy to breed them to. I ended up with a little ram lamb from Hillside Jacobs in MI and I'm just thrilled. They've been breeding Jacobs for 20 years and really know their stuff. His fleece is amazing and I can't wait to see my babies next April. He will be 6 months in October so I have to wait to get him registered but I'm sure he'll pass inspection with no problems.

Meet Windsor!


Today was the first day he has ever worn a halter so he was a little wild.


The ladies were all calling to him, those flirts.


I could just pet his fleece all day, but he'd hate it



And because I can't leave them out, my other rams:

Dennis who was bored of picture time


Alister the Cormo who is the sweetest ram ever

He is very handsome. Know what? I want some Jacobs now. I really Like Dennis. This guy has some good coloring too.

What happened to his top left horn? It looks like something happened but I really have no idea about them so it could be normal.

It just has a little crack where he must have clunked it when horsing around with the other lambs at his old farm. Jacobs regularly knock off bits or whole horns when getting into trouble as lambs and it doesn't cause any problems.

Dennis has lost the whole end of the same horn because he decided that his shelter needed fewer walls

I knew even before I opened this post I was going to be green with envy, and I AM! The new guy is so perfect, sweet looking, I bet he's a little devil. I love the upright horns on those guys. So cool!

You are very fortunate. Can't wait to see next year's lambs from that guy.

VERY handsome! I just LOVE the horns!

Wow. Your sheep are beautiful. They don't even look real!

Looking at the leaping sheep photo ... are you shure it is a ram ?

Lol, he's definitely a ram. Jacobs carry all their "business" closer to their bodies than a lot of sheep and it's been cool so they aren't especially dangle-y right now. I swear they're there

Thanks for the compliments everyone. I really love these sheep. They're so unique and just have lovely personalities.

Very handsome! I'm also a sucker for the horns....and their fleece!

awesome boy! he reminds me of my hair ram, Royal Patches...whom I'm wondering if he got his horns from a Jacob line the more Jacobs I see. My flock are a mixed up bunch and am the 3rd owner and the previous owner told me would add a breed to the mix everytime I talked to her....
it doesn't reall matter to me too much, just as long they produce some good eatin' lams
